Summary:

Dirk Pitt is searching for a treasure on the River Niger. Pitt, along with his buddy Al Giordino have to thwart the attempted assassination of a beautiful U.N. scientist who is investigating a disease that is driving thousands of North Africans to death. The suspected cause of the raging epidemic is a vast, fast spreading pollution that threatens to extinguish all life in the world's seas. Racing to save the world from environmental catastrophe, Pitt and his team run a gauntlet between a billionaire French industrialist and a bloodthirsty West African tyrant. In the scorching Sahara desert, Pitt uncovers the truth behind the fate of a long-lost Civil War ironclad. Now, Dirk and Al will have to make a desperate stand and fight a battle the world cannot afford for them to lose.
